Pointing to truth can take many forms – some of which may seem contradictory but are not at all.

Some say ‘How we perceive is determined by who is perceiving’ and others say ‘How we perceive determines who is perceiving’.The first pointing is more ‘Discover who you are and then all perception reflects that discovery’ and the second pointing is more ‘Perceive now directly, consciously and who you are stands revealed.’

Because we already are what we are and do not need to become what we are, we can say that realizing what we are is only a matter of how we now perceive.

When we perceive through conditioning then what we take ourself to be is the false, conditioned self. And when we perceive directly, consciously then what is sensed is the true, unconditioned Self.

Could it truly be as simple and direct as that?

It is all very simple.Instead of seeing things imagined, learn to see them as they are. When you can see everything as it is, you will also see yourself as you are. It is like cleansing a mirror. The same mirror that shows you the world as it is, will also show you your own face." Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

Einstein said, "No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it."
